Project Objective:

Ensure minimization of PCB releases and subsequent health and environmental impacts through systematic capacity development for sound PCB management in the country

Facts and figures

• Production of PCB capacitors until 1989• 4 PCB hotspots

– Ust-Kamenogorsk storage pond– Ust-Kamenogorsk capacitor plant– Ekibastuz power sub-station– Dariyal-U former military base

• 116 pure PCB transformers (~ 950 tons)• 56 000 PCB capacitors (~ 2,500 tons)• 225,000 tons of highly PCB contaminated

Project Outcomes

Outcome 1 - Regulatory and administrative strengthening for sound PCB management

Outcome 2 - Capacity building for sound PCB management, identification of additional PCB sources

Outcome 3 - Disconnecting, dismantling and disposal of 850 tons of PCB transformers (in partnership with ArcelorMittal Temirtau)

Outcome 4: Regionally organized secure storages and disposal of PCB capacitors

Regulatory and administrative strengthening for sound PCB

management• Output 1.1: Environmental Code and other PCB related

legislation reviewed, changes developed. Environmental Code revised to include a chapter on PCB management and disposal.

• Output 1.2: Responsibili ties vis-a-vis International Chemicals´ Conven tions in the government re-aligned

• Output 1.3: Detailed PCB rules, guidelines, incentive sche mes developed

• Output 1.4: Capacity for implementing and knowledge of PCB regulations and guidance among public sector actors, including training of customs department in PCB identification, enhanced.

• Output 1.5: Awareness raising campaigns on PCB risks and regulatory requirements among authorities and wider public conducted.

Other key elements of PCB Management Plan

• Stakeholder Engagement Strategy• Communication Strategy• PCB Information Management Systems:

– Web site– Databases– GIS-based Information Management System.

2010 – 2011: design and development phase• 2010 – design (regulation)• 2011 – planning (management system)• + inventory (initial phase)

Capacity building for sound PCB management,

identification of additional PCB sources

• Output 2.1: Improved capacities of PCB holders for sound PCB management

• Output 2.2: PCB holder-wise management and replacement plans

• Output 2.3: PCB inventory expanded and updated• Output 2.4: Enhanced PCB analysis preparedness at State

Hydro-meteorological services and Ministry of Health laboratories

• Output 2.5: Risk based priority setting tools for PCBs management initiatives developed..

Replacement, setting-up safe dismantling of 850 tons of PCB transformers and their safe disposal

• Output 3.1: Phase-out and procurement of replacement transformers planned and scheduled

• Output 3.2: Transformers disconnected, drained, dismantled and cleaned, metals recycled

• Output 3.3: Disposal of oils and associated waste

Regionally organized secure storages and disposal of PCB

capacitors• Output 4.1: Secure, temporary PCB storage facilities

identified, constructed/upgraded• Output 4.2: Safe operation of storage sites secured• Output 4.3: PCB collection and disposal put in place

and implemented• Output 4.4: 15,000 PCB capacitors at Darial-U

capacitor site disconnected, packed and stored. • Output 4.5: Clean-up premises and pack all

potentially PCB contami nated wastes.• Output 4.6: Transportation and disposal of

approxima te ly 600 tons of PCBs and associated waste disposed.
